evolve SKILL.md skillA

evolve from dataart/artisyn-implementation-harness is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add dataart/artisyn-implementation-harness/evolve@git:20260915.7499382

Pins git:20260915.7499382 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Improve harness skills, agents, workflows, and conventions from observed friction or a concrete improvement request. Supports reflect, triage, validate, and adopt; use for harness improvements rather than ordinary product changes.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Evolve

Turn observed practice into a validated, integrated harness improvement.

Route $ARGUMENTS with [the stage router](references/00-router.md). Load only the
current stage, its required interfaces, and relevant source files. Bare /evolve
triages pending reflections; clarify the candidate
when several match. Reflect is a capture-only operation. An explicit stage runs
that stage only. Triage includes drafting and stops with inactive candidates by
default. Validation and adoption run when requested. There is no session-continuation
or automatic phase-resumption protocol.

For candidate work, apply [native task tracking](patterns/task-tracking.md). Record decisions and evidence in
the candidate report before a handoff. File presence alone does not prove completion.

Existing user authorization governs execution. Request acceptance of the concrete
candidate before adoption unless already authorized. Preserve project-specific
instructions and respect the selected provider's paths and root instruction file.

The lifecycle ends with verified local adoption.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dataart/artisyn-implementation-harness/evolve@sha256:d2d534590588d7bb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.7499382, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
